The Fern Aground.

Col. w. f. Wheeler has returned
from Townsend, bringing the intelli-
gence that the steamer Fern, which
made her trial trip on the upper Mis-
souri, last week, is aground on a sand
bar about two miles and half below
Townsend. They had been working
for two days before he left to get her
of, but not having the proper tackle
and implements, were unsuccessful.
Now the proper appliances have been
obtained, and the boat will probably
be afloat again in few days. Her
trial trip was unfortunate all around.
In backing out from the shore the
boat struck pile of Stag in the river,
near the bridge piers, and knocked q
hole in her bottom, the water rushing
In and sinking her In u few feet OF
water. The hole was patched up and
the boat raised, only to meet with An
other set back on the sand bar. How.
ever, she Is perfectly sound and heI
owners think will eventually prove 9
success. At last accounts she WAS still
stuck on the sand bar.-HerAld.

A Mormon scheme.

Washington Special: A story that

tiality is one TO the effect tnat the Nor

during the approaching session Of
Congress TO secure the repeal Of the
Edmunds law. The leaders of the
Mormon church recognizing the fact
that If polygamy is to be saved from
extinction in Utah, the law must be
broken down. For this purpose the
lobby Is to direct attention towards
making the law odious In Washington
by a vigorous enforcement Of the for,
nication clause under which Surgeon
Crawford, Of the navy, was recently
convicted and thus bring about its re-
peal. To accomplish this end the lob

Free Trade.

The reduction Of internal revenue
and the taking Off Of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden Of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's August Flower and
Boschee's German Syrup, as the re-
duction Of thirty-six cents per dozeE
has been added to increase he tsize Of
the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-fifth more medi-
cine in the 20 cents size. The August
Flower for dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant, and the German Syrup for

THE ST. PAUL STOCK YARDS

The Pioneer Press in an account of
the opening days Of the st. Paul
Union stock yards, says:
There were in the 81. Paul Union
stock yards on Sunday, over one thou.

had increased to $500. These receipts
began September 3Oth with 43O head
from Z. Ramsay. Of Miles City.
The Harmon 4 Hale cattle company.
Miles City, followed with twelve cars,
and Stacy Bros, of the same place,
brought iD forty-eight cars on Satur-
day and Sunday. All Of the cattle
will go forward to Chicago in the
new stable cars, which have carried
most of the live stock eastward from
st. Paul this season. Sixty carloads

ment cars over the Minnesota Il
Northwestern road. In fact, this Is
now the middle OF the season for
handling western range cattle. Thirty
car loads arrived at South St. Paul
yesterday from the Boice cattle COM
psny, Montana.
The comments of the stock growers
upon these st. Paul Union stock yards
were very gratifying to those inter
ested In st. Paul. Mr.. Ramsay, who
accompanied his shipment, said: III

thing is well planned and / consider

VIM. Riley, shipper in charge Of the

satisfaction at the manner In which
their stock was transferred and fed.
He said: "The water from the South

The cattle rested and improved here

not only make the new yards popular
but will make South st. Paul q place

that the packing houses are not ready

this desirable market, especially for
Montanians."
A. w. Stacy, Of Stacy Bros. said:
"This stock yards will be one Of the
greatest business enterprises OF the
northwest. South st. Paul will be i'm
portant like Armourville and Farm
ingdale, near Kansas City, and like
these, 1t Is about the right distance
from the business section. These
yards are quiet and free from cross

well conducted. There is just enough

THE fact that that standing menace to
our prOsperity-the surplus-must go and
that it can not go through the pe-nieious
channels Of free whisky and tobacco is rec
ognized by the Republicans of Iowa. They
adopted this moderate and reasonable plank
on the subject OF tariff and taxation;
We continue to favor protective tariff
for the upbuildipg Of American industries
and the development Of all our resources
as q nation. We also favor il for the pro-
lection Of American labor, and in such de-
gree as will maintain to such labor the adj
vantage of the difference between the
wages of the workingmen Of Europe and
America; we elieve that the tariff should
be revised and reduced; and we declare for
all possible and practicable reduction OF
taxation, both National and State.
This is conservative. The best way to
eliminate Henry GeOrgeism from eur poll
ties, which is one Outgrowth Of high taxes,
is to cut down the prices Of the poor mans
neeessaries, now screwed to the top notch
by eOld-blOOded, greedy, tariff bound mon
epOlies, and, by so doing, to knock the
"Anti-POyerty" sOciety's props from UNI

GEORGE can pour his land nOstrum and

workers 500 and $500 5 prescription.

MRS ELIZA Howard PowELs, who
was so noble and true friend to the Union
soldiers during the war, died in Washing
ton the other day in her eighty-hrst year.
There are thousands ofyeterans who will
remember her deeds Of charity and unself-
ish devotion TO the sick and wounded.
The FOrty-eighth Congress voted her PEN
sion, through the strenuous efforts Of Judge
HOLMAN, who made pathetic and patri-
otto speech in her bebalE. The committee
favoring her claim said in their report that
FROM April %, 1861, to August IA, 1884.
soc devoted her whole time, energy, inau-
ence and means to the service Of the Union
soldiers and for the success Of the Union
cause, caring for the sick and wounded,
collecting and forwarding hospital supplies
and money. ninistering to their wants and
suferings in camp, field and hospital.
An this time she was at the head OF re-
lief associations She received no pay or
compensation whatever, paying ont Of her
own means the cost Of her own Transports
tion and Subsistence, besides contributing
freely to the purpose she served to the
amount Of at least g, 500, Before the war
ended she lost by misfortune what little
property she had, and was an invalid for
years from the effects Of exposure in the
performance Of acts Of kindness to the
soldiers.

rHR STUDY.

It is not improbable that Mr.. Besant
will visit the United States next year. He
has received an offer, through DIR. Vincent,
to write and read short novel before the
famous Chautauqua Society next summer.
He has not decided to accept the offer, but
/ think he will. La several of his novels
American characters are introduced, and
are gradually of the type set forth in
Martin Chuzzlewit.n The United States
of that period, like the London of Dickens,
is fast disappearing, and a novelist rising
into fame should understand this.
The social life Of the operatives in some
of the great mill towns Of the New Eng
land States would be an interesting study
for Mr.. Besant, and perhaps give him a
novel experience. Let Ms hope he will
come. He win be sure Of welcome.
( The sketches Of Mr. Besant and his house
at Hampstead, and the study, were espe-
cially made, with Mr.. Besant's permission,
by Mr.. Hal Hurst, for this letter. The
sketch Of Mr.. Rice Is from photograph
kindly furnished BY Mr.. Besant.
